I installed Rocket Rom V7 and now I am facing the issue that
whatever sized wallpaper I select for my homescreen, they all become scrollable, instead of being restricted to one screen size.
I even tried with 1280x800 sized wallpapers and I believed that the wallpaper shouldnt scroll. But they become super zoomed and scroll across my home screens.
I have Go Launcher Ex too installed.
Strangely, the wallpapers look same when I switch to go launcher or older stock launcher which came with original ics 4.03 update.
Has anyone faced the same issue?
Whats the solution?
Thanks in advance.

Hello folks, today I decided to try ADW launcher on my GTAB. I must say there are some really great looking themes, and its quite smooth and nice to use. The only problem I have went through so far is that wallpaper doesn't fit the all screen when in landscape mode. I have tried to resize them with the Gallery App, and I have also tried to download new ones from interfacelift with resolution of 960x854 or 960x800 but nothing has changed, and even wallpapers downloaded from the Grallery app doest fit the all screen in landscape mode. So I thought it must be a bug in ADW. Is there a way to make them fit the all screen ??
Thanks
not sure if this will help as I dont have a tab, but go into the ADM launcher setting and check or uncheck the wallpaper hack option....maybe that will help

It's old thread but is there anything happened with that problem since December? lol
Im still strugling witht that problem and half an hour surfing on the net didnt help. I sent mail to developer but so far no reply.
So the problem is old does anyone solved it yet?
What exactly is happening? Are some parts of the screen not covered by the wallpaper or are you only seeing a part of the wallpaper. I use ADW and in landscape mode. I get the top third of a wallpaper fully covering the screen. A live wallpaper I use works perfectly. Perhaps reset ADW to its default settings?

Have you tried these wallpapers with any other launcher?
You'll find that its the gallery's fault more than anything. Try multi picture livewallpaper

I am experiencing this as well. Portrait mode there is no issue, it is just landscape mode.
The stock standard Samsung home screen doesn't have an issue, it is just when I am viewing the ADW Launcher EX home screen. It is zoomed in on a particular section of the wallpaper and is only displaying a portion of the picture.
I have a Samsung GT-P7510 running Honeycomb 3.1 and ADW version 1.3.3.1
I too have the issue with my galaxy note, and i started this thread and had no luck so far

ADW Launcher EX wallpaper rotation bug
Well, on my Nexus 5 using ADW Launcher EX :
I'm in portrait mode, I set a custom wallpaper (image fits full screen, sides as expected are scrolling left/right when I switch through the desktops).
Now, I just rotate the phone to go in landscape mode, the wallpaper rotates but is cropped top/bottom and left/right too. "Ok, whatever..."
Then I rotate the phone back to portrait mode : the wallpaper doesn't come back to its original state but is kinda "zoomed in" so cropped on the four sides... I have to re-set it to get my original picture back...
The only fix I found was to force ADW to be in portrait mode and not use the sensor (the default launcher sticks to portrait mode anyway).
So, there actually IS a bug in ADW Launcher EX...
I wish the developer would fix this...
I've got a NC running 1.0.0 that I ran autonooter 2.12.25 on to root it. I'm currently using Zeam as my launcher. I have it set for 3 screens at the moment and the first wallpaper I used I remember scrolling as I went from screen to screen. I've since updated my wallpaper to other images and it seems that I've lost this scrolling capability. My most reason wallpaper has dimensions of 1280x800 and it doesn't scroll.
I've tried going into Zeam's settings which mentions having scrollable wallpaper. Setting this option on or off does not seem have any effect.
Anybody out there experience this or know what I might be doing wrong? I thought the wallpaper simply needed to be > 1024x600 for it to scroll.
Minor annoyance, but I kinda liked the feature.
Thanks,
--ex
Try updating to a wallpaper thats 1024x1200 and post if thats scrollable.
I also find that, if you select the wallpaper with the stock launcher & then switch back to Zeam, the wallpaper is sized better for the NC.
Cheers,
kev
Use a wallpaper that is 1280x1024 and set it while in landscape mode. That has worked best for me.
I've tried 1280x1024 and 1600x1200 wallpapers but haven't seen any difference in behavior. Strange.
--ex
I've found that if you load the wallpaper into the wallpaper folder on your NC's internal memory and then use the stock launcher to change the wallpaper it works best. No idea why, but it does. Put the same picture in the pictures folder and it does not look as good. Again, no clue why.
Hey Guys,
I installed Nova Launcher in the Chinese ICS Rom on my Note but my wallpapers dont scale properly at all! I have the correct resolution on em. In Fact all of them are downloaded from the wallpaper section in XDA for Note. They scale perfectly in TW launcher but not in Nova. Anyone knows why? Any setting I am missing? Please help! I love this launcher!
Hi,
I set wallpaper from stock wallpaper gallery and it scale fine.
I still using the default option in nova and not yet change dpi or any display settings in this ics chinese rom.
Have you change something before?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA App
No, did not change anything!
I have found this with another launcher (ssLauncher). When selecting from the gallery the size went completely wrong.
I selected from another source (Pic Viewer perhaps?) and it was set perfectly.
Try launching the new gallery app from drawer - the one with the red-purplish icon - and setting your homescreen and lockscreen wallpaper from there.
That's the way I'm doing it, and it scales images just fine.
Use Quickpic to set wallpaper. Works flawlessly.....

I am having the exact same problem
By any chance, did you guys install ADW Launcher before installing this ROM?
My wallpaper scaling problems started when I installed ADW......fixed them by installing another rom and doing a full wipe.
Also, you can use quick pic or wallpaper wizardrii from the market (both are free)
Btw,
which link did you use to download the ics leak rom......I downloaded the torrent one but I lose root access ? I'd be grateful if you could give me the link.
Many thanks
I never use adw on my ics rom, just install nova after tw launcher and never have any issue with wallpaper.
I use repacked version from chainfire, its rooted and cwm included. You can download it here (torrent) :
ftp://tor:[email protected]/I9220LP1-N7000-ICS-REPACK.tar.torrent
I have the CF repack too but I am still having problems with scaling. The temp solution I have is setting the wallpaper with Tw launcher and then switching to nova. But still after some app exits the wallpaper scales back to its zoomed state and i do the whole thing again. Dunno what seems to be the problem. love this launcher a lot to give up for this scaling problem

what about go launcher..saw many ICS theme for go launcher
I am also having an issue with 1.00. The top of the wallpaper is cut-off or underneath the notification bar. I am using a Galaxy Nexus.
guys i hope i solved ur issues....read the following
The native screen resolution is 720 x 1280, but native wallpapers are actually 1440 x 1280 because of scrolling. However, Android always forces you to crop your wallpaper to "their dimensions". So, if you are using a static wallpaper setting like Nova, you need to tweak your wallpapers.
Basically, you want to embed a 720 x 1280 wallpaper on a 1440 x 1280 background. Then when you go to set the wallpaper, you stretch the cropping tool to its MAX size and it cuts out the "excess" background leaving only your 720 x 1280 image.

I'm flashed Rocket ROM ICS v5. And only one issues make me tired :
When I manual set wallpaper for my Note with portrairt mode, the picture always be enlarged (see the picture).
And my question : How can I set wallpaper for my phone that it won't be zoomed ?
I think it might have something to do with wallpaper scrolling along with homescreens. Check if your launcher has an option to disable it.
Maybe. My launcher is Touchwiz Home now. TwLauncher have no issues like that but ... it not cool (
I am also facing the same issue.
The Old twlauncher is not having any issue with wallpaper.
But the new touchwiz5 is causing all problems.
I see that many are facing the same problem, but I havnt come across any solution or workaround as yet.
Some of you may be familiar with my typical home screen layout and custom wallpapers that I make on my PC. Well, I'm now experiencing issues with applying wallpapers to my home screen. Everything is slightly off, and not aligned properly. It appears that the phone is "zooming in" the wallpaper as it sets. Like, I'll have a border separating the notification bar area and my home screen but when applying the wallpaper that border is moved further up into the notification area. Like I said, the wallpaper seems to be "zooming in" as I set the wallpaper to my home screen.
I'm using Nova Launcher Prime. 12x12 grid. No dock.
I tried using Apex Launcher and ran into the exact same issue.
I've restarted the launcher. Restarted the phone. Used different photo apps to apply the wallpaper to the home screen. Nothing has fixed this. I'm not sure what else to try. If anyone here has any idea on why wallpapers are distorted (zoomed in a bit) as I apply them to my home screen, please help. Thanks!
ETA: Added two screen shots with a specific wallpaper that I found online to help show you what I'm talking about. When I see the preview of what setting the wallpaper will look like, it doesn't apply that way after setting the wallpaper.
Sweet, baby Jesus! I found the solution!
Please let this be a PSA for everyone who may run into this issue. The culprit was that stupid "Motion Effect" option while using the One UI launcher. You have to make sure when switching back to it from a third party launcher like Nova that you choose the "always" option so that it's your default launcher (stock launcher). Then when you do that and choose to apply a wallpaper, you'll see the "Motion Effect" option right under the image. Uncheck that stupid thing and your wallpapers will not longer "zoom in" like they did before.
Now, everything is lined up as it should!
